R&S®RTB2000
Digital Oscilloscope

At a glance

The largest display (10.1") with the highest resolution of

1280×800 pixel in its class, a capacitive touchscreen to
quickly navigate in pop-up menus and a touch function to
easily adjust scaling, to zoom in or to move a waveform –
works just like your smartphone.

The 10-bit A/D converter yields up to a four-fold improve­ment compared to conventional 8-bit A/D converters. You
get sharper waveforms with more signal details.

Power of ten (10-bit ADC, 10 Msample memory
and 10.1" touchscreen) combined with smart
operating concepts make the R&S®RTB2000
digital oscilloscope the perfect tool for university
laboratories, for troubleshooting embedded designs
during development and for production and service
departments.

Rohde & Schwarz stands for quality, precision and in­novation in all fields of wireless communications. As an
independent, family-owned company, Rohde & Schwarz
finances its growth from its own funds. The company is
not bound by short-term, quarterly results. It plans for
the long term, which greatly benefits customers. Pur­chasing Rohde & Schwarz products is a safe investment

for the future.

10Msample memory depth is available on each channel
if all channels are active. When interleaved, 20Msample
are available. That is 10 times more than comparable oscil­loscopes offer. This captures longer signal sequences for
more analysis results.

The R&S®RTB2000 gives users more than just an oscillo­scope. It also includes a logic analyzer, protocol analyzer,
waveform and pattern generator and digital voltmeter.
Dedicated operating modes for frequency analysis, mask
tests and long data acquisitions are also integrated. De­bugging all kinds of electronic systems is easy and ef­ficient – and satisfies the all-important rule of investment
protection at a very attractive price.

10-bit vertical resolution

The R&S®RTB2000 features a customized Rohde & Schwarz
engineered 10-bit A/D converter that delivers a four­fold improvement compared to conventional 8-bit A/D
converters.

The increased resolution results in sharper waveforms with
more signal details that would otherwise be missed. One
example is the characterization of switched-mode power
supplies. The voltages across the switching device must
be determined during the on/off times within the same ac­quisition. For precise measurements of small voltage com­ponents, a high resolution of more than 8-bit is essential.

1mV/div: full measurement bandwidth and low

noise

The R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscope offers an outstanding sen­sitivity down to 1 mV/div. Traditional oscilloscopes reach
this level of input sensitivity only by employing software­based magnification or by limiting the bandwidth. The
R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscope shows the signal’s real sam­pling points over the full measurement bandwidth – even
at 1mV/div. This ensures high measurement accuracy.

The accuracy of a signal displayed on the screen depends
on the oscilloscope’s inherent noise. The R&S®RTB2000
oscilloscope precisely measures even at the smallest verti­cal resolution by using low-noise frontends and state-of­the-art A/D converters.

The R&S®RTB2000 offers a class-leading memory depth:
10Msample per channel are available, even 20Msample
in interleaved mode. This is 10 times more than similar
oscilloscopes in the same instrument class. The user cap­tures longer acquisition sequences even at high sampling
rates, e.g. when analyzing transients of switched-mode
power supplies, and thus benefits from more detailed anal-

ysis results.

Segmented memory: 160Msample with history

function

The R&S®RTB-K15 option with deep, segmented memory
analyzes signal sequences over a long observation period.
For example, protocol-based signals with communications
gaps such as I
onds or minutes. Thanks to the variable segment size from
10ksample to 10Msample, the 160Msample memory is
optimally utilized; more than 13 000 cohesive individual re­cordings are possible.

In history mode, previous acquisitions to the maximum
segmented memory depth of 160Msample are available
for further analysis. Mask tests, QuickMeas function and
FFT, for example, can be used for further analysis.

Maintain fast sampling rates at all times

Signal faults and important events are detected better
with an oscilloscope that offers a high sampling rate.
Many applications require long acquisition cycles, for in­stance when analyzing serial protocols. With a sampling
rate of up to 2.5Gsample/s and a memory depth of up to
20Msample, the R&S®RTB2000 oscilloscopes really excel
here. They display signals accurately, right down to the de­tails and even for long sequences.
